King Gizzard to return to Colorado with three August 2027 concerts

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will perform three concerts in Colorado next August, organizers confirmed on Tuesday. The band will kick off the run at the Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs on Friday, Aug. 13, 2027. They will play Denver’s Mission Ballroom on Saturday, Aug. 14, and close the series at the Dillon Amphitheater on Saturday, Aug. 15.

These dates follow the conclusion of the Field of Vision festival, which was set to return to Meadow Creek in Buena Vista in 2027. Meadow Creek, a festival producer based in Chaffee County, announced the cancellation of the 2027 edition after failing to reach an agreement with local authorities. The most recent edition of the festival took place in August 2026.

The second edition of Field of Vision featured King Gizzard as the headliner for each night. Supporting acts included the French-Canadian group Angine de Poitrine, the Austin-based band Die Spitz, and the local metal group Blood Incantation. Jake Frommer, co-producer of Meadow Creek, stated that the 2026 event was larger and better received than the first iteration.

Frommer noted that the transition from the first to the second year required adjustments. He said the team focused on strengthening relationships with the core crew, King Gizzard, and the support artists. "In any year-one to year-two scenario, a lot of it is based on the relationship that we’ve built with our core team and the Gizz team and support artists," Frommer said.

The production team aimed to act as hosts rather than curators. "The whole goal of what we set up in Meadow Creek is we want to be the host, and we want to partner with artists who want to be the curator," Frommer said. He added that the team sought to provide a platform for artists to realize their creative visions.

Meadow Creek released a statement on Instagram explaining the cancellation. The group said they could not agree on 2027 permit conditions with Chaffee County that met their standards for hosting events. "Meadow Creek and Chaffee County were unable to agree upon 2027 permit conditions that would enable us to host events to the standard we aim to deliver," the post read. The team said they would continue to advocate for artists and fans.

Presale tickets for the three upcoming concerts are available now through each venue at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11. General sale tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 13 for all three locations.
